(June 19, 2017, 8:59 pm)Really nice spot. Somebody made some very heavy handed improvements about 70 years ago-- concrete stairways that are somewhat decrepit but functional. As Phyllis Sears says, the old carriage drive is a gentle incline if you don't want to climb the stairs, and smoothly paved. Two ovals at the top, the upper one with better views but kind a of shambles -- they were dumping cuttings up here for a long time although not recently. The lower oval is managed as a kind of wildlife refuge with plants that attract birds-- very serene spot. There's a nice soft-surface path that winds around the north/west sides of the hill ideal for runners and anyone else. Way back when they envisioned an observation tower-- I think the park got its name from Mount Prospect, over by the botanic garden, which did not get included within the park. This hill isn't as high and needs a tower to have any view in the summer-- or a storm that knocks down some of the trees to open up the view. This happened a few years back on the south side of the hill, which has the best views, and it was pretty good for awhile but now thickening up again.

(January 18, 2016, 8:15 am)The old carriage drive up to the top has a gentle rise good for strollers or wheelchairs. A wooded hill that takes you away from the sounds of the city. Views better in winter when the leaves are off the trees. Spectacular fall color in November.
